I tried all kinds feathered pillow, contoured pillow, synthetic pillow, micro bead pillow, memory foam pillow, and etc enough to open a pillow museum :)
All these pillows gave me bad neck/shoulder/back pain or migraines. I felt exhausted and painful the next morning from all the tossing and turning during the night. Couldn't get much sleep. My neck & back felt so disjointed and sprained.
I decided to give Pillo1 a try after reading about its innovative design customized to fit a person's height and size. I got the SMALL size pillow according to my height. (See Amazon product description for size details)
It's takes about 2-3 weeks to get adjusted to the new pillow. This pillow works well for side and back sleepers. The curve of my neck was well supported for both positions. The pillow is surprisingly soft, but it is nothing like the soft memory foam pillow which leaves a deep dent after prolonged pressure. Pillo1 is soft, light and bouncy with surprising great neck support. Feels like you are sleeping on a well-padded marshmallow :)
Overall my sleep is better. It's the beginning of my 3rd week, my pain has gotten a little lesser.
Important Tip:
Pillo1 has a unique designed "hole" in the center of the pillow. (Most people are comfortable with the "hole" height of the original pillow)
For me, I didn't feel comfortable with the original "hole" height.
I contacted Pillo1 and Dr. Hall gave me a tip that made all the difference adding towels in the center "hole" to elevate the height of the foam insert until I found the comfort height that worked for me.
Note: (I added towels by folding small face towels into the "hole" by opening the zipper at the back of the pillow. Folded towels at the bottom, insert foam on top. Zip the pillow back and cover it with a King Size pillowcase). I gradually added more towels until I got the right height.
In my case, the secret to making the pillow work for me was finding the right height elevation in the center "hole".
I'm so glad that I got Pillo1 :)I bought Pillo1 well over a year ago, it took me a few nights to get use to its unique design, but once I did I slept better and my neck feels great. I'd been having such a problem getting comfortable at night I had been designing the perfect pillow in my mind, when I saw the pillo1 I saw the design was very similar to what I'd been thinking about so I ordered one right away. Best purchase I've made for a good nights sleep. I am mainly a side sleeper and the firmer sides work perfectly and keep my head tilted slightly back so I don't have my face buried in the pillow. (helps to keep those nasty wrinkles away) I do sometimes sleep on my back and find the pillo1 very comfortable that way too. The latex used to make this pillow is a natural product and much healthier than memory foam and doesn't get as hot.Make sure you order the correct size based on your height listed on the pillo1 website. That may be why John Doe didn't like his pillo1, if he bought the small as indicated it would be too small unless he is under 5'2".Before I got my Pillo1 I had been waking up about 2 or 3 times a month with excruciating neck pain which lasted for days. It took me a little while to ajust my sleeping habits but as soon as I started sleeping on Pillo1 my neck pain disappeared. Proof of how amazing this pillow is......I went to Cabo and did not bring my Pillo1 with me, by the third night I was really hurting again. I will not sleep or travel again without my Pillo1!Pillow offers the right amount of support for back sleepers. And, should you want to sleep on your side, it allows you to do that too.Good product, price, and quick shipping. I do think the pillow has helped my headaches to some degree, though I wish the areas for your head when side sleeping were a bit longer.
